AHNAK2 mutation

Our study extended our understanding of the AHNAK family in promoting GI and selecting treatment responders of ESCC.

Besides, the correlation between the DRPS score and the chemotherapy-response signature indicated the potential effect of Gefitinib for high-risk patients...The DRPS model enables improved clinical management and personalized KIRC therapy. The identified biomarkers and immune characteristics offer new mechanistic insight into disulfidptosis in KIRC.

This study has disclosed direct contribution of impaired functional, genetic and molecular properties of AML patient-derived adipocytes to effective protection of AML blasts from apoptosis and to stimulation of their growth in vitro and in vivo, which overall leads to disease propagation and relapse. The detected AHNAK2 gene mutations in AML-MSCs point to their involvement in the mechanism underlying abnormal adipogenesis. Video Abstract.

We further found that AHNAK2 deleterious mutation (del-AHNAK2 ) possessed better predictive function in NSCLC than non-deleterious AHNAK2 mutation (PFS, OS, log-rank p < 0.05), potentially associated with stronger tumor immunogenicity and an activated immune microenvironment. This work identified del-AHNAK2 as a novel biomarker to predict favorable ICI response in NSCLC.
